the Elephant in the room

[Flavor Flav]

Wait....we've been downgraded which means we are 'less likely' to get credit aka loans in the future so we won't be in debt!?

I think it means we get less favourable deals when securing loans. Higher premiums etc....

lets hope this is all passed on to those we have lent money to

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Oh well we can always just blame Brown for not being a clairvoyant and selling the gold at the wrong time. That'll take the heat of us.

What a complete load of bollocks. He needed intelligence which the sweaty sock and all the other sweaties inc. Blair lacked.

3 TERMS
not that unintelligent ..........or should I say more intelligent that the others
probably because they were watered down tories anyway

So, Osborne lied to us when he claimed he could, and when he claimed he was.

As much as I hate the bumbling buffoon, I am not convined he lied. I would suggest it is complete incompetence. Never has a politician been so out of his depth. The man has a complete lack of direction, lurching from one disasterous policy to another, resulting in constant u-turns.

Unfortuantely, for the country the only man running him close in the incompetence stakes is Ed Balls.

Absolutely this.

Osborne will be able to completely run the country into the ground and still blame it on the previous government. Living standards are now back to the level they were in 2003.

I agree. My lie comment was a proposition to the poster.

Absolutely. All the politicians on all sides are lying when they claim to have the solutions that will turn things around in just a few years. After 13 years of over spending Labour left us with massive debts and a completely buggered economy. By their own admission they left the incoming Gov with no money. Then this has been accompanied by economic meltdown across Europe and most of the rest of the world. How is this going to be solved quickly? Moreover, if there was a simple solution then at least one country would have found it by now.
I think we, the public, need to wake up to this and grow up.Too many people expect instant solutions when they just don't exist.

[Nibble]

They all f**ked.

Labour can't run a piss up in a brewery and the Torries throw us under the bus.

You are correct.

It's just as well there is an elephant in the room. If there wasn't, we would be paying bedroom tax on it

Depends on how big the room is. FYI.

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Can't we sell the elephant instead?

They're really tasty.

Oh come on. I do think we would NOTICE an elephant in a room that was only 9ft x 7ft.

 

[supaseagull]

Too busy selling gold reserves.

Yeah at least they didn't put it up for auction and get £1billion less than they should have eh? That would just be stupid to do that wouldn't it?

Maybe, maybe not. Now if it was a baby Bornean Pygmy Elephant the smallest elephant in the world. The males rarely exceed 2.5m in height while a large female measures around 2m.......... then you might not notice.
